That is the LAST working pair (with the rotating Stop signs) of Griswold signals in the Twin Cities. Hard to believe that the straight track there was once the NP's main line from Minneapolis to the West Coast! Whats even harder to believe is that a railroad like BNSF keeps them in working order ...

@starbearer76 As a conductor, I hope I NEVER have to take that walk to see whats up front. I have had close calls, but fortunately never hit anyone. I nearly took out a school bus full of children once- fortunately we got stopped because we were going only 5mph and pulling into a yard. It proved ...

So sad to see it go! Amazingly, one of the MN DOT guys cut me a 2 foot by 2 foot piece of the deck out- Still has the double yellow line road paint on it!

Now, after just listening to Dolly Partons version, HER lyrics are for sure gospel. I just dont know if I think this version is really what I would consider gospel.

@princesstweetypie HAHA!!! I just heard it on there too- And I cant find a recording on Itunes... Its irritating!

Haha. I would freak out watching someone put a camera down in front of one of my trains, but great shot. I really enjoyed seeing the tie sink in the ballast and come back up. Your camera got tamped!

Haha, and seeing that BNSF wayfreight stopped in the clear makes me cringe knowing whats comming in the next couple months... Buckling air hoses in sub zero weather, sweeping snow and ice out of frozen switch points, riding boxcars into a -50 degree windchill. Suddenly winter on the rails isnt so...

Give me jointed rail over flat spots any day!

For lack of a better description, Patti, you are utterly fabulous!

I cant help but think of Patti in Will & Grace when she played herself and said "people either either love me, or hate me". Patti- I love ya!
